1. COVID-19 will not disappear in a short time. In the past three years, waves of COVID-19 epidemic have greatly affected our lives, and everyone hopes that COVID-19 will disappear as soon as possible. Will COVID-19 disappear soon? Academician Zhong Nanshan's previous reply was this: At present, COVID-19 may exist for a long time, but its large-scale proliferation can be controlled.
2. There is a possibility that COVID-19 will disappear in the future. Because in this respect, human beings have a precedent to eliminate smallpox virus. Smallpox virus is an ancient and highly toxic virus. It can be traced back more than 3,000 years, and it is highly toxic. The mortality rate of light smallpox was 0. 1- 1.0%, and that of severe smallpox was about 25.5%.
/kloc-in the 0/8th century, when the Japanese flower virus spread everywhere in Europe, according to statistics, hundreds of millions of Europeans lost their lives. 1796, edward jenner, a British country doctor, discovered the vaccinia vaccine, and then the vaccine became popular. 1980, the world health organization officially announced the eradication of smallpox. From the eradication of smallpox virus, do we see the hope of eradicating COVID-19?
First of all, we should beat COVID-19 by various scientific means. We hope that COVID-19 can be destroyed as soon as possible, but before it is destroyed, we must completely defeat it so that it will no longer harm mankind. Different from ancient humans, we now have all kinds of advanced science and technology, which are powerful "weapons" for us to defeat or even destroy COVID-19. Academician Zhong Nanshan classified these weapons into three categories:
1. Scientific management.
When an epidemic is discovered and eliminated, with the help of nucleic acid detection, big data and other means, we can constantly improve the means of epidemic prevention and control, and defeat COVID-19 locally, thus reducing all kinds of adverse effects brought by COVID-19.
2. Scientific prevention.
Vaccination in COVID-19 can keep us away from COVID-19 or reduce the harm caused by COVID-19. However, with the mutation of COVID-19, we still need to develop more targeted COVID-19 vaccine. Isn't smallpox gradually disappearing under the impetus of vaccination?
3. Scientific treatment.
COVID-19 drugs can alleviate the pain of patients in COVID-19 and greatly reduce the mortality of patients in COVID-19. At present, COVID-19 drugs in various ways are being actively promoted, and we also hope that in the near future, there will be special drugs developed in COVID-19.
Conclusion: We are on the right road to fight the epidemic, and we are confident to completely defeat COVID-19 in the future, but we need some patience before victory comes!
